The almost forgotten fact that
VIM. A. Wheeler acted rs Vice
President Of the United States
one tenn. was recalled by his
death and half masliug the ilags
on public buildings in this city on
the day Of his funeral. Mr..
Wheeler, alter retiring from
office like Hayes, his principal in
the theft of the Presidency in 1876
dropped from public regard, with
the contempt and execration Of all
truly honest men, living the re-
mainder of his days in much pain
full remorse and obscurity.
The people Of Washington are
gratiiied to learn of tho improve
nient in the condition of their be-
loved fellow citizen, the wealthy
banker and philanthropist, Mr.. w.
w. Corcoran, who was lately pros
tratcd with paralysis, which at
first caused much concern. Mr..
Corcoran's large benefactions 10

tions of paintings and pictures,
aud the Louise Home, whero gem
tlewoman 10 reduced circumstan-
ces may find refuge in their dcclin-
ing days. Although Mr.. Corco-
ran is n his seth year,
it is hoped he may yet be
spared for years Of bcnefcence
and usefulness for he * an honor
and blessing TO his country and
to the world.
There is curious coincidence
in the fact that no sooner does the
man from Maine set sail for Eu-
rope, than the Irlsh-American
club Of New York begins to boom
Mr.. Blaine for President, decIar-
ing that while they have no objec-
lion to other candidates, the head
Of the old ticket is the man of
their choice above all others.
Well, the democrats will fervent-
ly wish the Irish-Americans sue
cess in their endeavor to renomiA
nate Mr.. Blaine, but fear that
hope will uot be realized. This
Blaine talk and the ulther fact
that the New Hampshire Repub-
licans have resurreted, aud are u
bout to send to tue IT. S. Senate
"Bill" Chandler, political boxes,
notorious corruptionist, and as
bad as all, the fraudulent Presi-
dent tool and underling conclusi-
yely demonstrates that more than
one defeat will be required TO cha
sten the Republican party. If
the people of Washington could
decide the question, believe Sec
retary Lamar would surley sues
coed to the vacancy in the Su-
preme Court, but we have it from
good authority that the Secretary
does not desire the position, as it
would shelve him for life, and de-
privc the Nation---as his friends
think-of the great ability of this
eminent Statesman in its cabinets
and councils, where he is best fit-
ted to se,ye and shine.
AS the Grand Army of the Re-
public ID incubating another "De-
pendent Pension BILL which they
will urge the next Congress to
pass, it Is probable that President
CleycIand,s veto will again be the
country's ouly safe guard against
measure so unjust and ruinous.
President Cleveland, on his way
to Washington from the North
woods Of New York, where he has
been investigating personally tie
disputed fisheries question, stop
ped at Albany and dned with
Coy. Hill, which the politicians of
all shades believe evidences such
cordiality between these distingus
ished Democrats that they will not
be rivals for Presidential honors- ;

burned and show many marks Of
! their contests with black flies asd
